ABC’s sub thriller Last Resort is adding another character. Actor Jay Hernandez (Hostel, Six Degrees) has joined the cast in a significant role on the show.

Hernandez has signed on for an eight-episode arc playing Paul Wells, a handsome and seemingly nice-guy charmer who tests the loyalty of Scott Speedman’s character’s estranged wife in the series (played by Jessy Schram).

The casting comes on the heels of Last Resortadding Jay Karnes, a fan favorite from Last Resort co-creator Shawn Ryan’s FX drama The Shield. Last Resort premieres on ABC on Thursday, Sept. 27.
